Title

Skimming electronic newspaper headlines : a study of typeface, point size, screen resolution, and monitor size

Source

Information processing and management. 33(1997) no.5, S.685-696

Year

1997

Abstract

Studies the effects of typeface, point size, screnn resolution and monitor size on legibility in a task-setting similar to skimming headlines in an electronic newspaper. Studies Times New Roman, Book Antiqua, Century Gothic, and Arial typefaces. The headlines were shown to 28 subjects using a brief-exposure method. The results indicate the existence of interactions between all factors considered in this study. The best overall legibility was achieved by the Times New Roman and Arial typefaces. These 2 typefaces represent a serif and sans-serif typeface tuned specifically for the display of text on a computer screen
